8 Conclusion: It is worth mentioning that the previous statistics were done by the AGPS documentation and statistics team, as the numbers are likely to increase because of the tense situation there that preventing the documentation of all cases, where many residents are reluctant to communicate with authorities about human rights for fear of harassment, as well as the difficulty of moving and communications also preventing, in many cases, without collecting adequate information about the victims. In addition to that there are a large number of missing people who were lost during the disaster sinking "boats of death" in the Mediterranean early on October 2013, where hundreds of Palestinian Syrian refugees, who were on board, are still missing. On the other hand, it should be noted that most of the reasons that led to the death of 2596 Palestinian victims, still exist, since many Palestinian refugee camps are still exposed to Shelling between now and then in addition to the continued strict siege on the Yarmouk camp. Thus, the Group confirms that this report concerns on documenting the statistics of the Palestinian refugee victims in Syria since the beginning of the events till the end of December 2014, with no concern about identifying the actual doer. 7
